Hello friends welcome back to another episode of theology in the raw. I'm excited for this conversation with my friend Patrick Schreiner.

Patrick is a professor at associate professor New Testament and biblical theology at mid Western Baptist Theological Seminary.

He previously taught at Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon and before that he received his PhD from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

He's the author of several books, the Body of Jesus, a spatial analysis of the kingdom of the kingdom in Matthew, the kingdom of God and the glory of Christ.

Sorry, the kingdom of God and the glory of the cross also Matthew, disciple and scribe the first gospel in its portraits of Jesus.

And also another book called The Ascension of Christ, recovering a neglected doctrine, which was is the focus of this podcast slash YouTube conversation.

We spend at least the last half talking about the importance of the ascension of Christ and all the various questions that that doctrine doctrine raises.

After talking to Patrick, I am convinced that it is a neglected doctrine as the subtitle of his book says it's something that I don't think we have considered as a separate essential theological category of the person and work of Jesus Christ and we get into that.

It takes us a while to get there. We talk about lots of stuff related to the Southern Baptist Church and evangelicalism and we even touch it just briefly on race conversations and CRT and so on and so forth.

So I'm very excited for Patrick to be part of this show. And again, this show is both a podcast and a YouTube channel.

All right, let's talk about the ascension of Jesus Christ with the one and only Dr. Patrick Schrinner.

All right, hey, friends. Welcome back to another episode of theologian, raw. I am here with Dr. Patrick Schrinner, or as I call him, Patrick, because doctors don't doctor each other.

It's kind of weird, but Patrick, thanks so much for being on theologian, raw. This is your first time, right?

Yeah, it's my first time, but I'm a listener. I don't know if I call myself an avid listener, because I was just telling you you produce way too much content, which is great, but I can't keep up.

So I listened to many of your episodes.

Yeah, yeah. I try to, I've been trying to mix it up with like biblical studies theology, even like just looking at passages or themes, and then obviously I do a lot of cultural issues and sexuality.

I'm trying to record more episodes, but really diversify them so people can kind of pick and choose what they want to listen to, but yeah, anyways.
